Downtown Albany’s historic spots are getting a fresh start—two once-bustling bars and cafes are being transformed into apartments, with state grants and a proven developer backing the move. Legends on Pearl, shuttered since 2015, will host a new restaurant on the ground floor and 12 apartments above, while 5 Clinton Square—home to Nocturnal Cookies and several cafes since 2007—will become housing, reflecting shifting neighborhood needs. The redevelopments signal a broader trend: turning commercial spaces into residential units to meet evolving urban demands.
